More than half of LGBTQ parents in Florida say they are considering leaving the state

More than half of LGBTQ parents in Florida are considering moving their families to another state over concerns that a new Florida education law – known to its critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” law – stigmatizes LGBTQ identities and creates a hostile learning environment for LGBTQ children or students with LGBTQ family members.

In a report issued Tuesday by the Williams Institute, a public policy research institute based at the UCLA of Law, and Clark University in Massachusetts, 56 percent of LGBTQ parents surveyed said they were considering leaving Florida over concerns about how the new law may impact their children and family. Another 17 percent said they had already taken steps to do so.

“I am terrified that I would need to make the decision to leave Florida and leave my parents,” one respondent said. “The idea of having to leave to protect my child and my partner is scary but one I am willing to do.”

The new law, officially titled the “Parental Rights in Education” law, bars public kindergarten through third grade teachers from engaging in classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity – subjects the measure’s proponents in the state legislature last year argued are inappropriate for young students.

Educators through high school are barred from addressing either topic in the classroom in a manner that is not “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for their students. Florida public school teachers who violate the law risk having their licenses suspended or revoked under a rule adopted by the state Board of Education in October.

LGBTQ parents in Florida surveyed by the Willams Institute between June and September said their initial response to the bill, introduced last January in the state House, ranged from fear to disbelief.

These Munchausen-by-Proxy parents can consider all they want. Being narcissist exhibitionists, they will stay put to
bask in the stage light.

“Based on surveys of 113 LGBTQ+ parents, this study represents a first look at how HB 1557 is...”

Wow, now let's see a 1 year follow-up & where any of them actually moved.

Cool. Come here to CA. It’s already a sewer and more won’t hurt. Meanwhile, in FL, the constituency to resist DeSantis will erode

Adults want to be gay, that is their business.

When they pushed through the right to adopt children and started calling their shack-ups "families", all was lost.

When "gay marriage" started to be a thing in the 70s, it of course started in Scandanavia and Holland. I remember that the law in Sweden or Norway was that people could enter a civil partnership, but they could not have children living with them. Oh, the humanity! The wailing and knashing of teeth until they got what they wanted! I'm amazed that large parts of the Church have held out these 50 years. It's crumbling, though.

Perfect example.

We have actual patriots who argue that “they can’t leave!” Who will put such strange things above their own families.

The left demonstrates more of a backbone? That’s got to sting.

GREAT! Now maybe I can buy a home down there.
